WHAT HAPPENS IF SOCIAL SECURITY DENIES A DISABILITY BENEFITS CLAIM ?





What happens in this instance? If social security denies a disability benefits claim, a claimant really has only three choices: give up on their disability claim, file a new ssd or ssi application, or file an appeal.

Of those choices, giving up on a claim for benefits is always the worst possible choice, simply because the social security administration denies the majority of individuals applying for disability benefits.

Regarding the second choice, though it may, in some instances, make sense to start over with a new ssd or ssi application for benefits, it most cases this will be an option that is less advantageous than following the social security administration's disability appeal process. In fact, many claimants who choose to follow this route end up filing numerous applications that are simply denied again and again.

Undeniably, if the social security administration denies a disability claim, then the best option to exercise will be the third one: filing an appeal.

By filing an appeal and pursuing the appeals process, an applicant for ssdi (social security disability insurance) or ssi (supplemental security income) can eventually get their case heard by an administrative law judge. Nationally, more than half of all claims that are heard by ALJ's are won. Of course, even at a disability hearing, the chances of winning can be raised considerably simply by properly preparing prior to a hearing, which, with few exceptions, should include obtaining representation from a qualified disability attorney.
